PHOTOS: LSU women’s basketball advances to Sweet 16 with win over Middle Tennessee

The Tigers overcame a second-half deficit to cruise to a 27-point win in the second round against the Blue Raiders.

LSU’s women’s basketball team found itself in some danger once again in Sunday’s second-round NCAA Tournament matchup against Middle Tennessee.

The Tigers trailed at the half and by as many as nine points in the third quarter, but they stormed back. LSU outscored the Blue Raiders 41-20 in the final two quarters on its way to what was an ultimately dominating 83-56 win.

Now, they advance to the Sweet 16 for the 16th time and will face the winner of Monday’s game between No. 2-seeded UCLA and No. 7-seeded Creighton. In the meantime, here are the photos from Sunday’s win.
